You can’t substitute 327 million free thinking individuals responding to supply and demand... with a computer.
Which would be enough to feed an AI.
Can't is a mighty strong word.
the reality is a compartmentalized system; on one side the elite allowed to practice capitalism as long as they behave and trade as instructed and on the other side over a billion peasants
If you can nerve staple everyone and hook their brain up to the AI... maybe?

There is no AI. No system, nothing, that can calculate that. It happens organically. Via market forces.
This is why socialism always fails.
in theory, yes. but modern trading bots can ALREADY create market changes that look like authentic trends
supply and demand haven't been the primary input variables for quite some time
Socialism is just laziness
a market manipulated by an elite few for their benefit shows little difference to a top-down economy
The question was the practical one. And the cost of production *should* play into the hamfisted answer provided.
what about services?
So, no, not outright negation if you'd rather discuss it.
or IP?
As said, cost of production is the first question for valuation.
